Black marks on shredded old towels, shower cubical requires updating. Stained carpet. Drawers falling apart, mattress collapsed. No reception, Payment taken out through Expedia immediately prior to arrival and key collection. We booked for five nights only stayed for one.

Might help if the check in instructions mentioned that you need to check in and pick up the key down the road at Du Pont motel. Would save an inconvenience and time.

The motel was very run down and no actual reception on site , upon arrival we saw a sticker on old reception door for us to go to another motel down the road to receive keys ( no heads up about this during booking ) , everything was closed up and looked uninviting , very basic cleaning ( stove dirty ) , we had 4 guests in a family suite and were only provided a hand towel ( no towels to shower with ) - it’s fine if your travelling on a budget and want to keep things basic , nice sized rooms etc but could do with a bit of TLC

Broken window frame meant window couldn’t be closed or locked. Locked door could be opened with next to no force. Bed base was broken so bed was like a banana. Tv was unusable even for free to air tv. Wifi drops out continuously. Room was overall extremely rundown, outdated and easily the worst place I’ve ever stayed

We freaked out no one was at the office had to ring to find out whats going on to be told to drive up the road to another Motel to get the key and drive back. Was not informed we needed to do this. Every surface was sticky and yuck, pillows were what we wouldnt even call a pillow full stop. No hand towels or face cloths. Smoke detector was not in sight but hidden in a draw and Wi-Fi was useless kept cutting out was frustrating
